045: How to Read the Bible in a Year

Published: Dec. 17, 2019, noon

I started 2019 with the goal to read the Bible all the way through in 1 year. Before this, I had read a lot of the Bible, but certainly not all of it, and definitely not many books in their entirety. I felt God calling me this goal when I set my 2019 goals, but I knew I didn\\u2019t want to approach it with stress and striving. I think it can, unfortunately, be easy for us to set well-meaning goals for our spiritual life, but then turn them into something else entirely \\u2014\\xa0something striving, stressful, and even boring.\\xa0

So, I approached reading the whole Bible as something I\\u2019m going to do, and it\\u2019s ok if it takes me longer than a year. And, it will end up taking me longer than a year! Real talk: the episode title feels a little off because I won\\u2019t end up finishing the whole Bible this year. But, I\\u2019m ok with that, it\\u2019s a journey, not a goal to hit.\\xa0

So, in this episode, I\\u2019m sharing about this piece of my 2019. I\\u2019m sharing the tools I\\u2019ve used for reading the Bible this year - down to what exact Bible I\\u2019m using and highlighters I recommend, tips for making your quiet time more consistent, the note-taking style I\\u2019ve done this year in my Bible, what I\\u2019ve learned, and so much more! If you\\u2019re thinking you want to read the Bible through in 2020, or even just start having a consistent quiet time for the first time, this episode is for you!! Although this is a business podcast, we are ditching the business stuff today to focus on the faith life stuff, so this podcast episode is for anyone and everyone!\\xa0
